the essence of Budapest

Monday, 18 August 2014


First of all, three days in Budapest are not sufficient, and this is what we all felt when we had to depart. I'd say our pace was pretty fair, spending about 12 hours exploring the city each day, yet we did not manage to see everything we were supposed to. It was all about choosing what we wanted to see the most.

At first I wanted this post to look exactly like the essence of Prague, but then I realized that this year I am a different person. Different things make me feel alive, and I truly hope that those photographs could speak for themselves. It's just a selection of photographs that caught my attention, some I am saving for later, because there will be at least two/three more posts (I hope). Newly tried films are Fuji Pro 400H & Ferrania Solaris.

I am so happy my films survived scanning at the airport, because well, I asked for manual inspection twice and both times they refused andI heard that the X-ray would not be harmful. Basically those people looked like they had no idea what they were talking about, not winning my trust and therefore leaving me shaking when I were to reclaim developed films this afternoon. Thankfully, apart from some blue lights on the bottom side of the pictures, they are safe & sound! :)

I love my summer trips these years, and I am shamelessly picking Rome for vacay 2015. It's an unusual feeling to be so far away from home and even better to come back. 

Enjoy the photographs, guys. Open your hearts and take Budapest all in, the way I did when I was standing on the top of the Gellert hill, taking the first photograph in this post. More to come, definitely more to come.

I was not sure whether I took this photograph or not. It was the first of a new roll, the tram was about to leave and I could not bear the thought of losing such an image. The film did not fully reflect the beautiful light of the moment, but that photograph remains my most precious one, because of how badly I tried to hold it down.
